Tropical Storm Lala moves away from Hawaii, leaves trail of damage and lakhs without power

Tropical Storm Lala has departed the Hawaiian Islands, leaving behind a landscape marked by destruction and widespread power outages. The storm's fierce winds and heavy rainfall caused extensive damage, with initial reports indicating that over one hundred homes were either destroyed or sustained significant damage.

The impact of the storm has left a substantial portion of the population in the dark. Approximately 184,000 residents across the islands are currently without electricity. Efforts to restore power are likely to be ongoing as crews assess the damage and begin repairs.

Rescue operations are actively in progress as authorities work to reach communities affected by landslides and floodwaters. The challenging conditions, exacerbated by the storm's aftermath, are complicating efforts to provide aid and support to those in need. The full extent of the damage and the recovery process are expected to become clearer in the coming days.
